I think it's right that XBox Live costs a subscription fee to play online. Not only do they provide a great service with matchmaking and other stuff on the marketplace, friends lists etc, but I always thought how can online gaming companies make money off of tpeople who keep playing online year after year (or rather, how come they accept to provide that service for free?). Like COunter Stirke, Age of Empires and STarcraft, you buy it for like $30 and can play for free for many years.
It's only logical that online gaming costs some money.
ALso, it's not like we're just filling the poclets of some greedy rich people in this case because Xbox division doesn't even make much profit.
